G
Em
We’d wear our finest clothes and
G
pack tight in tiny rows and
C D
sing songs that someone wrote to guide us towards the truth
Em
when those words caught inside my mouth
G
I’d bite my tongue and spit them out
C. D
believing tasted great but was impossible to choose
[Bridge 1]
G Em C D
cause your God, he clangs on the latitude lines
G Em C D
always at the worst times, when you finally shut your eyes
G Em C D
your God, he waits with the keys on his side and passes the time
C D G
making up the strangest stories for your life
[Chorus]
D C G
and I don't know what happens when we die
D C G
but that won't change the way I live my life
[Verse 2]
Em
Write down your fears and hopes and
G
stick those in envelopes and
C D
send it out with no address; it never will be read
Em
cause prayers good when needing therapy
G
focus, heal, and find priority
C D
don't pretend they have effect when buried in your head
[Bridge 2]
G Em C D
I lost each belief like baby teeth
G Em C D
one by one I pulled them gradually
G Em C D
most would come out looking clean but all the rest would bleed
G Em C D G
I could listen to the lessons but my head won’t let me hear it and believe
[Chorus]
D C G
and I don't know what happens when we die
D C G
but that won't change the way I live my life
[Bridge 3[
G Em C D
I lost each belief like baby teeth
G Em C D
one by one I pulled them gradually
G Em C D
most would come out looking clean but all the rest would bleed
G Em C D G
I could listen to the lessons but my head won’t let me hear it and believe
[Outro]
D C G
and I don't know what happens when we die
D C G
but that won't change the way I live my life
D C G
and all I want before my time is up
D C G
is a life that made a difference to someone
